Functioning as a stable until the early 20th century, 4 Andrew Street is a single-story dwelling capped b y a mansard roof with

Doric column resting on a wooden deck. The wooden door has 3 x 3 lights in the upper half and is fitted with a wooden
storm door. Adjacent to the entrance is a pair of 6/6 windows with a molded surround and shutters. The shed dormer on the

windows on the building include individual 6/6 sash as well as sets o f three, a l l o f which are framed b y shutters. The dormers
similarly display a variety o f types and include two pedimented dormers with 6/6 and a central gable dormer with an 8/8
window on the west elevation. A n additional shed dormer is located on the east elevation.
The house is set directly on the sidewalk with a driveway extending to the west o f the house. A stockade fence encloses the

the role(s) the owners/occupants played within the community.
Originally a stable for the adjacent property at what is now 96 Washington Square East, this building was constructed for
Charles M i l l e r i n 1877. According to building permits, M i l l e r was granted a permit for a 1 1/2-story building with a "French
r o o f , measuring 24 x 44 feet. M i l l e r was a merchant with a store at 170 1/2 Essex Street. B y 1897 the Washington Square
East property was owned by C . L . B r o w n and occupied by Frank A . Brown. It appears that the building was renovated for
residential use at the time o f the Salem 1914 fire. In 1914 the adjacent property at 96 Washington Square East, including this
building, was owned by Frank Brown, assistant manager of the National Lead Company. H e apparently renovated his barn
for Misses Abbie and M a r y Sweetser, who formerly lived at 185 Lafayette Street but were left homeless by the fire. The
1914 directory shows the sisters to be living at 30 Pleasant Street, apparently awaiting the completion o f 4 Andrew Street.
After M a r y Sweetser passed away in 1919, Abbie Sweetser continued to live here until her death i n 1922. Soon thereafter the
property was occupied by several people until 1930 when it was acquired by Florence Woodbury who continued to live here
into the 1950s. Annie Woodbury was in residence in the 1960s.
